The last weigh in for Mats pack was 70.8#s. I think he has Sage and Alex in there.

24 miles a day for 10 days straight in the Whites is awesome!!!
.... but with a 70lb pack?
Good Luck!!! This is hardcore!!
Mats would do this with no fanfare at all if his friends would let him. He is the most modest hiker I think I know.

Is there a way for the map we are checking to keep a highlighted trail of where they have hiked?

I never want to see a day
That's over forty degrees
I'd rather have it thirty,
Twenty, ten, five and let it freeeeEEEEEEeeze!

M&M did Isolation, Washington, Monroe, Ike, Pierce and Jackson today and are turning in for some well deserved rest at the Highland Center tonight.
In answer to Snowmiser's query, I think probably not since they are not keeping the cellphone turned on all the time, just checking in at times.

Ed's page only shows the most recent location but if you go to the main site (in the VFTT link) you can see the whole route. Here it is as of last night. You have to be sure to select a high enough value in the "Trail" option to see all the points.

Looks like they were on Osceola at 10:00 this morning. No points sent since.

It's down to just Mats. Poor MEB had to drop out. Her feet were bloody stumps.No, not really, but they were too bad to go on. Valiant effort MEB!
Go Mats!
As someone pointed out in another forum, it's one thing to carry a lot of weight. It's another thing to move fast. But to do both, day after day over 240 miles and thousands of vertical feet is just unbelievable!
